FORMER LAW PROFESSOR & BIG FIRM DEFENSE ATTORNEY. Ms. Willis is an Orlando car, truck and motorcycle accident lawyer who gives each and every one of her clients extra special treatment. She is a former law professor, and former large firm defense attorney. She previously represented corporations and excess insurance companies, including numerous cases valued in the range from 1 million to 50 million. She does not operate on a high volume basis. Before she even started practicing, Ms. Willis began accumulating extremely prestigious awards, including Order of the Coif and Law Review. She graduated 2nd in her class at Florida State University College of Law, in 1995. She has since earned many awards during her career, detailed in her profile below. She diligently represents those seriously injured or killed from the negligent acts of others. She also represents those with moderate injuries, or those who don't yet know the extent of their injuries. If she is unable to give the client the time they need, she also has developed a close network of attorneys who have similar philosophies, and who will do an excellent job on any case. Sometimes lawyers who specialize further are also needed. She will refer anyone to another lawyer if needed to get each person the most money possible for their case. She strongly encourages anyone injured in an accident not to speak to any insurance adjusters, or witnesses. Also beginning medical treatment very quickly is extremely important to case value. But what you say to medical providers is also important. So calling a Central Florida auto accident attorney very quickly is your most important job. Beware of insurance adjusters who may be very nice, but whose only job is to find a way to pay you the least amount of money possible. They usually will not disclose all of the money that they should be paying you. For example, very often they will not mention pain and suffering damages, future medical bills, or lost wages. They succeed when you get less money. They also take notes about what you tell them, and can use it against you later. So don't talk to them until you talk to a lawyer. This is true even if they admit their insured was at fault for the accident. The big question then is the AMOUNT of your damages -- and that's where the fight often takes place. Call Tina to speak with a lawyer who will carefully evaluate each and every case, and advise clients what they need to know to get the most money possible (or help them find another lawyer who will do the same).
